Add to a movie listSage-femme de première classe est un film français réalisé par Alice Guy en 1902. Il reprend l'argument narratif de La fée aux choux (1896) de la même réalisatrice, avec lequel il est souvent confondu.
Synopsis
Un couple de jeunes mariés s'approche d'une boutique pour le moins singulière puisque l'on y vend des bébés ! Une discussion s'engage entre eux au cours de laquelle le jeune homme se laisse convaincre. La marchande présente divers poupons mais aucun ne semble faire l'affaire. Il est temps de passer à la réserve : c'est un potager rempli de nombreux choux. La marchande se penche vers les légumes pour y récolter de nombreux bébés bien vivants : les clients sont difficiles à satisfaire. Le choix enfin fait, l'homme sortira son bas de laine (au sens propre) pour payer son dû.Comments

Early 20th Century Europe was a time and place rife with conflicting forces, from the battlefields of World War I to the peaceful countryside of rural England. Scientific advances such as electric light and photography appeared magical to some; spiritualism was championed by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle while his friend Harry Houdini decried false mediums who prey upon grieving families. J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan charmed theatergoers of all ages. Young Frances Griffiths, whose father is missing in action, arrives by train to stay with her cousin Elsie Wright in rural Yorkshire.

Two young women travel by car through the Auvergne. Having run out of gas near an odd village, they spend the night in a barn where they make love. The next morning, Anna is gone and a dwarf in medieval garb guides Françoise through a forest (later identified as Brocéliande) to a lake, where a magic canoe carries her to an island, and then to a castle where scantily clad women frolic and kiss, overseen by the dwarf Gurth. Françoise is interviewed by Morgan le Fay and bathed by some of her women. Gurth reveals in a monologue that he procures the women for Morgan and has aspirations to take over.
